University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering

Description: The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment as an introduction to stress and strain. The lesson allows students the opportunity to "design and make a concrete cylinder and beam that can withstand the greatest applied load." The concepts of comprehensive and tensile stress are incorporated into the lesson plan. Links to useful video clips, diagrams and discussion questions are included. The exercise should take about 90 minutes of class time.
